Auburn 32 Signees?

[volswin08]

What's the story? It was my understanding that the SEC had ruled that teams could only sign 28 in any one year. Am I remembering incorrectly, or just do not know something,(like some signees can still count toward last year's class)...or whatever? :dunno:

 

[TNfaninMS]

that is what i thought!

 

[BuckheadVol1]

I believe they had 5 to back count. I think that is what I heard Chuck Oliver (AU Grad) on ATL radio stated eralier today.

 

[VOLocity]

I thought the same thing about carrying over the numbers if you didn't sign 28 the year before. Maybe I didn't get the memo.

PM SAB, he will know!!!

I was thinking the same thing....i'm pretty sure that you can only back count 2.

 

[tidwell]

Didn't Mississippi end up with like 43 signees last NSD?

 

[LSUSIU]

They have backcounts.

Rumor going around is Seastrunk is calling around and hasn't signed his LOI for Oregon, apparently has called Auburn.

 

[Demon_Vol]

I'm not sure what the back count limit is (if there is one) but it's certainly more than 2. I was thinking it was around 5.

Yeah...not sure what the actual number of Miss. signees was...but I think that is when the SEC changed the rule...whatever it now is?

 

[LSUSIU]

I believe the NCAA changed the rule. Auburn has 5 backcount I have been told.

I believe the NCAA changed the rule. Auburn has 5 backcount I have been told.

I thought that it was an SEC thing....do you mean that the NCAA rule also changed?

 

[bhizzy]

we signed 25 prospects. how many we're we allowed, 27? how does that work? do we get 2 extra next yr?

 

[BloodRUNZOrange]

Yes, we can sign 2 more to back count next year.

The SEC came in first after the Ole Miss deal, and I believe the NCAA came in after that. I have been told Auburn has 5 counting back, also there are probably greyshirts in there to.

Now do remember there is 85 limit too, which might end up being a problem later. Auburn is clearly saying all those guys won't stick.

A couple of those players that AU signed were looking at the VOLS.

i apologize if this has been asked...

Ambles and Copeland we're the only outside hopefuls today that have turned us down? Do we have a shot at any others today?

 

[LSUSIU]

i apologize if this has been asked...

so we we're basically just waiting on Ambles and Copeland? Do we have a shot at any others today?

Ambles is USC
Copeland is a LSU Tiger.

You might get a call from Seastrunk, nothing would surprise me with that guy. I kind of just made that up but never say never.

I believe it was 38, either way it was up there.

Chaz Green is announcing now.
